About the Dish

Lamb Rump marinated in lemongrass and turmeric, served with balsamic sweet potato puree, tenderstem broccoli, and pistachio salsa verde from The Brickyard Gastropub. 

Ingredients

Lamb

4 x 7oz Lamb Rump steaks

3 sticks of lemongrass, sliced

3 cloves of garlic

1 thumb-sized piece of ginger

50g brown sugar

150ml extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons of turmeric

Pinch of salt

Pistachio Salsa Verde

2 shallots

1 clove garlic

4 sprigs of parsley, leaves picked

4 stems mint, leaves picked

100g toasted pistachio nuts

Juice of 2 lemons

50g capers

1 tablespoon chilli flakes

100ml olive oil

Salt & pepper

Sweet potato mash

500g sweet potato

50ml balsamic vinegar

Knob of butter

Cooking Method

Lamb

  • Marinate the lamb. 
  • Place all ingredients except for the lamb into a food processor and blend until smooth. 
  • Score the fat on the lamb, and rub the marinate all over, leaving to marinate for at least 1 hour or preferably, overnight.
  • Bring a frying pan large enough for the 4 rumps to a medium-high heat. 
  • Add some rapeseed oil or vegetable oil, and place the lamb in, fat-side down. 
  • Be careful not to burn as the sugar in the marinade can burn quickly. 
  • Turn until the lamb is golden-brown all over, then transfer to an oven tray, and cook at 160 degrees for approximately 10-12 minutes. We’re looking for a medium-rare cook, but if you prefer your lamb more well done, leave in the oven for longer.
  • Add tenderstem broccoli (6 stems per person) boiled or steamed until al-dente.

Salsa verde

  • Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until it resembles a pesto-like consistency. 
  • Add more olive oil if needed. 
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.

Sweet potato mash

  • Place the sweet potatoes into the oven at 160degrees until soft (approx. 45 mins). 
  • If you can insert a skewer into the sweet potato without much resistance, it’s done.
  • Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer, or mash using a potato masher. 
  • Add the balsamic vinegar, butter, and season to taste.

Assemble the dish 

  • Slice the lamb rumps into 5 slices each. 
  • Place one scoop of sweet potato mash onto each plate, and spread in a line across the plate.
  • Arrange the lamb slices on top, and sprinkle some maldon sea salt over the lamb. 
  • Arrange the broccoli alongside the lamb. 
  • Drizzle the salsa verde around the outside of the plate.
